Had it been the other way around, and a Canuck had been clipped, we would also be screaming murder... He wasn't targeting the head, but it became the main point of contact, so he'll get a suspension... Outside of Boston, I don't think there's many players in the league who go out to intentionally injure another player or target the head, but in a really fast game, sometimes a hit doesn't play out the way it's intended. I always try and look at hits objectively, no matter the team and you are correct, if this was a hit on Hughes or Pettersson, Canuck fans would be screaming bloody murder! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Long Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 5 minutes ago, Rekker said: Leafs will win without Reilly, book it. Media will run with the "team has come together to overcome" narrative. No media will touch the truth in that Reilly is one of the most overrated dmen in the league. He is overrated for sure. Keefe whining about the leaves being picked on was pathetic. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really shouldn't be in the NHL with the way he plays in his own zone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Korea Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 17 minutes ago, HorvatToBaertschi said: Please elaborate, I feel like I'm missing something here haha (i try to not follow the Lafs as much as possible) He just has a completely ridiculous and unreasonable stance against offensive defencemen in the NHL. Is Morgan Rielly overrated? Absolutely. Is he AHL trash? Absolute nonsense. He thought Quinn Hughes should've played in the AHL the year he got nominated for the Calder. Not the numbers of a top-10 defenceman for sure. But obviously much better than the real AHL players they're about to use in the next game: Lagesson, Benoit, and Timmins. The Leafs are fucked if they lose Rielly this month. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coho8888 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 12 hours ago, Elias Pettersson said: What exactly is bush league about scoring into an empty net? I’m genuinely curious. Was the shot too hard? Too much velocity? Is there a maximum height allowed for winding up the stick? Would a wrist shot have been better? Should he have missed the net so not to hurt the Maple Leaves feelings? same thing happens when someone flips the puck into the net 3 seconds after the whistle has gone. “Why did you clock me over the head with your stick?” ‘……Because you showed poor sportsmanship by putting the puck into the net late”. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone does that to my team I'm going to be outraged and get right in their face. Not cross-check in the face levels of outrage but tons of shoving for sure. "You just don't do that!"

RupertKBD Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I was struck by the headline "The length of the suspension is not decided until the player has a chance to explain his actions"....Well, I'd love to hear that explanation.... "Uh....well....he took a slapshot into the empty net....and it uh, pissed me off, so I...uh...accidentally skated halfway across the ice to have a stern word with him....but my stick kinda came up and accidentally hit him in the face....." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm betting Leafs better than ever this season for the stretch without Reilly. They will give the minutes to a dman that actually helps prevent goals and will be better for it.

Since 2020 only AJ Greer (Cross Checking) and Jeremy Lauzon have been suspended for any head contact, kinda weird to label them as the outlier when it is only 2 instances in about 5 seasons.

They don't have a single puck-moving defenceman outside of Rielly and their defensive struggles have increased threefold this year. Rielly has always been there - he is not the reason they are much worse compared to seasons past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
